Blindsiding the LSU Tigers

Too many mountain references in this article about the match-up between Terrence Cody and LSU's Sophomore center, T-Bob Herbert. Herbert a 6-3, 282 pound lineman that resembles a character from the "Varsity Blues" film in both name and stature, has the difficult task off blocking Terence"the field goal blocker" Cody in tomorrow's game. What is his tactic? Getting low and staying under Cody. "In a situation like this, you have to go back to base fundamentals like staying low and driving your feet," Hebert said. "It's not going to be easy. Any time you're going against a guy like him, technique is key. I'm not going to be able to match him in the size category. So if I'm going to win, I'm going to have to win with technique." Yeah, let us know how well your "technique" works for you. Better yet, we'll all witness first hand tomorrow how fundamentally sound you are as a player.

As we warm up our football minds and shut down our working ones, go over to espn.com and check out some general trivia about the SEC this season. Most notable is the fact that Alabama can clinch the Western Division title tomorrow with a win over LSU. But I bet you already knew that, right?

Do you think LSU fans are a little sensitive when talking about their former coach, Nick Saban? Once again, as this article claims, LSU fans will be "blindsided" when Coach Nick Saban shows up in the film, "The Blind Side" wearing LSU colors. I hope they find whatever motivation they need to show up on Saturday, because you know Coach Saban will have the Tide ready to roll. RTR!
